Rickenbacker 4003S/5 Bass

"Roundabout." The sound of that legendary Yes bass line is seared into the auditory memory of many of the musicians : an early-1960s Rickenbacker 4001S strung with round-wounds. With their punchy treble, solid bottom end, and sonorous, piano-like sustain, Rickenbacker basses helped forge the sound of classic rock in the capable hands of progressive bassists such as Chris Squire and Paul McCartney. It's an iconic sound, and there's only one way to get it. Today's formidable Rickenbacker 4003S/5 5-string delivers those inimitable bass tones — and then some — in a sleek, modern instrument updated with slightly wider string spacing, a Schaller Deluxe 3D-5 bridge, and newly designed single-coil pickups.
